Chapter 422: Fighting the Twin Cranes
The troops behind did not understand the situation in front of them, and as soon as they saw that the forward was pouring into the first line of defense very smoothly, they were overjoyed, and frantically urged the troops behind to rush in. Even the commander-in-chief, General Luo Zhen, became excited, and said to the deputy marshal beside him: "It is said that this castle defense line is the first pass in the world, and it is extremely difficult to overcome. He also said that there was a little kid in Black Cloud City who used soldiers like a god. Why did we fall apart as soon as we arrived?" The generals around him complimented one after another: "General Luo is invincible, invincible, invincible in the world." How do you think those rednecks in Black Cloud City have seen such military might as ours? They are just bullying and bullying the straw bales of the Northern Alliance Kingdom?"
Luo Zhen laughed and said: "So our King Majesty Shengming! Your Majesty has already said: The fertile land of the Northern Alliance should have belonged to my Ma Huaishan Kingdom a long time ago. Giving them a bunch of earth leopards to govern is simply a tyrannical thing. ”
Driven by the officers, more and more soldiers and elephants crowded into the gates of the first line of defense. The officers and soldiers of Black Cloud City switched to ordinary wooden poles or bamboo poles and arrows, lit fires and shot down at the elephant herd. Others simply threw torches directly into the piles of people or elephants. At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Mahuaishan Kingdom discovered that many clothes, wood, and oil drums discarded in the open space were all flammable, and they were all flammable.
Animals are afraid of fire, and elephant herds are no exception. The shafts of those arrows were oiled, and they were still burning and not extinguishing when they were stuck to the elephants. The elephant wailed in pain and went on a rampage, and the whole clearing seemed to go crazy. The elephant herd rushed indiscriminately and trampled on the infantry and even cavalry of the Mahuaishan Kingdom, killing and injuring countless people. And the follow-up troops who didn't know about it were still desperately squeezing in from the various city gates.
The results have been catastrophic. The elephants that rushed out even squeezed many people with heavy equipment into the moat. The black night was full of uncontrollable panic, and herds of burning elephants rushed across the moat, running all over the ground, trampling many people to death. Luo Zhen had to order the soldiers to shoot the elephants.
Subsequently, some of the officers and soldiers of Black Cloud City opened the door of the second line of defense and rushed out, chasing the defeated soldiers who were scattered and fleeing. The other part of the officers and soldiers returned to the first city wall from the secret passage, killed the soldiers of the Ma Huaishan Kingdom who had just climbed to the top of the city and were hiding behind the daughter wall, and left the city. They easily recaptured the first line of defense.
Luo Zhen, who was still immersed in the joy of victory just now, saw the officers and soldiers of Ma Huaishan who were retreating like a tide in a blink of an eye, and he was very puzzled. But before he could understand the situation clearly, the cavalry of the Blue Dragon Kingdom had already killed him in front of him. He was carried by the defeated soldiers, and he fled twenty miles away before stopping.
At dawn, he led his troops back to the moat in front of Mingyang Fort. I saw the corpses of people and elephants all over the ground, and flags, knives, guns and armor were everywhere, which was terrifying. On the opposite side of the city wall, there are still neat flags fluttering like yesterday, and there seems to be no one.
Luo Zhen felt a little apprehensive about the prospect of the siege. He said silently in his heart: "It seems that this little guy is really not bragging! It is indeed a bit of a god to be able to fight like this." It is no wonder that the Northern Alliance suffered a crushing defeat on both occasions when it was extremely superior in troops. ”
Although he thought so in his heart, the battle still had to be fought. I think that I am a powerful general, and I can't take a small Black Cloud City defense line with an army of more than 800,000 people, so how can I mix it up when it spreads out in the future?
Luo Zhen decided to launch a strong attack. This time he will use all the infantry, and no longer let people mix with elephants, and squeeze the small city gates. With the beating of the war drums of "dong dong dong", the soldiers carried all kinds of siege equipment and flocked to the defense line of Mingyang Fort like a tide. This time, Black Cloud City did not take the initiative to give up the first city wall. They bolted the fortified gates and began to pour down from the city with bows, rolling stones, sassaches, charcoal braziers, boiling oil, or gruel. The battle became extremely fierce.
At the same time, Wang Jinqian of the Northern Alliance, under the strong instigation of Zhao Dongguo, also launched a large-scale attack. The defenders of Fuyang County not only resisted desperately on the first line of defense, but also threw the corpses of the officers and soldiers of the Xuanwu State who died in the sneak attack last night into the city one by one in order to humiliate the Northern Alliance army. They also hung Sun Yun's corpse full of arrows high on the flagpole, making Wang Jinqian so angry that he had smoke on his head, but he had nothing to do, so he could only shrink into his big tent, pacing around in an anxious mood, throwing things and losing his temper.
The guardian spirit beasts of the Hu Gang and Hu Yong brothers were all immortal cranes, and the two immortal cranes, like their masters, had reached the high level of the bone underworld at the same time. The higher the level, the slower it becomes. Relatively speaking, Luo Ming's progress speed is faster than Xiao Yu's, and at this time, he has reached the level of the ninth order in the late stage of the bone underworld.
Although their level is not as high as that of the other party, moreover, it is still two against four. But they were not afraid in the slightest. There was still a distance of more than 1,000 meters from the Hu brothers, Luo Ming jumped off Xiao Yu's back, his legs were tight, his arms were close to his side, and he rushed towards Hu Gang, the eldest of the Hu brothers, like an arrow.
Hu Gang didn't panic, and hit the energy qi mass that had already been prepared on the nine-ring machete towards Luo Ming. Suddenly, a curtain of rain appeared in the sky, and each pillar of rain poured down with a powerful murderous aura. This is what Hu Gang is going to use to deal with the army on the ground, it is a large-scale group attack skill, and he didn't expect to use it specifically against individuals, so the direction of his efforts is to apply energy across the board, rather than focusing on a certain point.
Luo Ming's defense now is not what it used to be. Since he defeated the three Linghu sisters and captured the "Enchanting Wetland", he has obtained a full set of equipment, which can be described as a shotgun for a gun, which is not what it used to be. Hu Gang's raindrops hit him, beeping and beeping, as if they were about to stir up a puff of green smoke. But the damage they left for Luo Ming was not great. Moreover, Luo Ming is in a high-speed flight state. Although the rain curtain was big, he had already swept through the rain curtain and rushed to Hu Gang in the blink of an eye. Before he could look dumbfounded, he raised his fist and struck.
Xiao Yu was almost right behind him, and also swept through the rain curtain like lightning, rushing in front of the Hu brothers and their pets.
The speed of the two of them startled several of them at the same time. Luo Ming took the lead, rushed into the enemy formation desperately, and blasted at Hu Gang with one punch.
Hu Gang heard that this kid was so powerful that he didn't dare to take it hard, so he hurriedly flashed to the side and back, and parried with the machete in his hand. Hu Yong originally wanted to release a skill to fight Luo Ming, but seeing that his brother's skill had little effect.
